Discuss the importance of including a classification of gingival diseases in the newest 1999 Academy of Periodontology Classification of Periodontal Diseases
What will be an ideal response?
In the development of a detailed classification of gingival diseases and lesions, dental plaque was not included until the latest 1999 classification from the American Academy of Periodontology. This inclusion was an acknowledgment that the clinical expression of gingivitis can be substantially modified by (a) systemic factors (e.g., endocrine), (b) medications (e.g., phenytoin), and (c) malnutrition. Many plaque and non-plaque-related gingival diseases are frequently encountered in clinical practice.
